Tidings Procures This statement has been questioned in many quarters, and it ia our desire nt this time to set the voters of Ashland right in this regard. ¿»Your general taxes will not be increased- The major proposal on which you will vote specifically specifies that the interest, principal and all expenses , of the water improvement must be paid out of the net receipts of the water department. ‘n. Th*8» °f course, will mean an increase in your water rates. With one or two exceptions, Ashland today has the cheapest water rate of any city of over .3000 ¡teople in Oregon or along the Pacific coast. It is only fair and equitable that the rates lie increased. The bond issue provides that succeeding coun­ cils cannot change the method of paying off these writer bonds. In other words, if you vote.for this issue the city must pay off the bonds out of the net reciepts. It is our conviction that water is a commodity which must be sold just the shine as food and lights and. any other peceagities. In this respect we believe you will agree with us. And it is (A this theory that we believe the only just and equitable method of paying off this proposed water indebtedness is to hate the water consumers nav it. • -------- » * JUDGES ABE ♦ GHOSH# — — * "T- , -w Plan io Give Ashland Widespread Pnblirit)- b, Annosmreff ' .
